I bought a HP Proliant ML350 G6 Motherboard for 110 Euro and a Cougar Panzer Max, because i wanted to build myself a good, price efficient and future proof first PC. But it seems, that it does not fit into the Case, though the Panzer is a big Case. I did not want the normal case, because it really is noisy. Are there any alternative cases i can use? And can i use i install windows on a SSD and make a PC with the server parts ? And is 700w enough for the build? Other parts are: Gigabyte Aorus RX580 8gb(not Xtreme), Seagate 2tb HDD, SanDisk SSD Plus 120 gb, Windows 10, 1x Xeon X5675, 1x Xeon X5660, Thermaltake TR2 S 700W, 2x Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2, Arctic MX-4 4g, 9x Samsung 4gb PC3 Ram, 2x Samsung 16 gb PC3L RAM
Thank you for helping me out

Usually a dual socket host requires both CPUs to be identical. You will have to use Windows PRO for dual socket. Also the ML350G6 motherboard has non-standard power connections at the front of the board. I don't know what you need to power that board.
Server motherboards are usually more hassle than they are worth unless they are a generic like SuperMicro or Asus. Those boards have standard plugs. OEM motherboards like Dell and HP usually work best in the original case, power supply and wiring.

I read that this Dual CPU Setup would work, because both CPUs have the same specs, except the clock speed, which should not matter. Is there a way to change the Power Connection of the Motherboard? Or should i buy the ML350G6 with full equipment? Would it help to write a mail to HPE Support? They should know in which other cases the board fits and which kind of Power Supply i need... Or did i waste my money and should try to contact the seller of it?

I saw 750W Power Supplies for this Board for about 15 to 30 Euro. So it would be better to just buy a good case with it, wright? I heard the proliant 350g6 in a video. It is very loud... Can i avoid it from being this loud?
